The last entry above was probably John Pretor Pinney DNB 1740-1818, the others probably one of his sons John Frederick or Azariah. William Wordsworth (see DNB 1770-1850) and his sister were tenants of Pinney in Somerset 1795-7. Basil Montagu is said to have introduced them. A very close study of Wordsworth's letters might establish which of the brothers appeared in Godwin's diary
